"Look, Nan," said Jack, "at that little girl over there. She is putting that one little candle and that tiny bunch of flowers on a grave. She looks so poor. I wonder whose grave it is? I hope it is not her mother's."
"See, she is coming away," said Nan. "Don't watch her so closely, dear; it doesn't seem kind."
The two children turned quickly away, but could not forbear watching the little girl as she slowly passed out the gate.
"I wish I knew about her," said Jack following the departing figure with sympathetic glances.
"Let's go, Nan," said Jean; "it is so sad here."
"I don't think you twinnies ought to have come," Nan told them.
"Oh, yes, we ought. We like the flowers and the lights, but we don't like little girls like that to be so poor as not to have more flowers and candles," Jack returned.
They now came up to the rest of the party and proposed the walk to see the royal tombs, but Mrs. Corner decided that she was too tired to go and, therefore, the twins went home with her while the others continued to the church. Here a long procession of persons passed steadily in and out of the crypt, where masses of flowers and brilliant lights surrounded the tombs of dead royalty.
"I'd like to know more about King Ludwig II," said Nan to her companion. "The Bavarian succession is so mixed up in my mind I never do get it straight."
